Carmelitas – caramel chocolate oatmeal bars

Easy to make oatmeal cookie bars filled with gooey caramel and oozing chocolate, these carmelitas bars will make you weak to your knees!

My notebook is filled with recipe ideas. My mind never stops thinking about new irresistible desserts or how I can put a twist on old ones.

Sometimes I try a recipe and, even if I decide to blog about it, it may take me weeks until I get to share it with you. (remember these blueberry pie cheesecake bars I made in may and shared the recipe in august). Some of the recipes, no matter how amazing they turn out, they keep getting pushed towards the end of my list and I never get around to actually blog about them.

And there are some recipes that need to be shared right away! That’s the case of these caramel chocolate oatmeal bars (also known as carmelitas)! I could not wait to share them with you! If only you lived closer to actually come over for some tasting! Pure heaven!

This was the first time I made carmelitas. Actually it was the first time I had a carmelitas! But I’ve seen so many recipes for these amazing oatmeal bars filled with oozing caramel and melting chocolate I knew even if this is not the original recipe, they are bound to turn out amazing!

And they sure did! Soft, chewy and oh so gooey! And sweet. And rich and dense! It’s best if you cut them in small bars. As much as I love sweets, two of these carmelitas are a little too much to eat in one sitting.

Well, if you think about it, only good things can come from melted butter, brown sugar, cream, caramel and chocolate! All my favorites in one gooey sticky bar!

If you’re still craving chocolate after trying these carmelitas, I’m sure you’ll find something else at this year’s chocolate party to satisfy your desires!

I think you may have outdone yourself, Roxana! These are over the top. I am fascinated by all the good chocolate goodies here. I couldn’t decide which to try first. But I think the Carmelita bars are the one,

So much chocolate I don’t know where to start first. It all looks amazing but your carmelitas are definitely the star! I would be honored if you would come by and share at Foodie Fridays going on now. Hope to see you there.

My gosh I am drooling over your pics of finished products. I notice that when I print a recipe it leaves a great empty space before it prints the recipe. May I suggest that you make your print jobs also print the picture of the finished items so that it gets printed with the recipe so that one can see what it looks like when one goes to make your recipes. I won’t buy a cook book if it does not have colored pictures to go along with the recipes. It would make your print jobs so much better quality and not a great empty space where a picture should go.
Thanks so much,

Oh my gosh! That chocolate caramel drizzle over the top of these cookies! I think I felt my little foodie heart stop! Throw in the fact that this a playful take on an oatmeal cookie and I can’t wait to try making these myself.

This is a long time recipe in my house with a few alterations. We use caramel topping, mix with a bit of flour to thicken. this makes the bars gooeyier. Sometime we don’t add the pecans and add coconut or both depending on what is in the house. We have also been known to call them “crack” bars as once you have them you are hooked!
